Who was picked for the $100 laptop?

MIT has picked Taiwanese firm Quanta to manufacture its $100 laptop. As PCWorld reports: 'Under terms of an agreement with One Laptop Per Child, Quanta will devote engineering resources to develop the $100 notebook design during the first half of the year, according to a statement issued by the group. At the same time, Quanta and the non-profit organization will explore the production of a commercial version of the laptop.'" Apparently they don't think it's ineffectual either.
